Dheva Setiaputra is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at Simon Fraser University. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA repair and the challenges faced in maintaining genome stability. This is critical for disease development and therapeutic approaches, particularly in cancer treatment where DNA damage repair plays a significant role. Setiaputra's lab aims to explore the pathways involved in cellular responses to DNA damage, investigating how cells make decisions regarding repair pathways and the implications this has for targeted cancer therapies. With a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of British Columbia and postdoctoral experience at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Setiaputra has developed a strong background in biochemistry, cell biology, and genomics, employing various techniques to tackle questions about DNA repair processes. His work has significant implications for advancing gene therapy and improving clinical outcomes in oncology.
